The cotton exported from this cOun-
try to Europe during April last year
amounted to 154, ,7SO,315 pounds. Dur
ing the corresponding month this year
1t fell to 95. III ,s92, ard the cash value
was $9,5O00OO, as agairs. $l2.2O0OOO.
The only way this decline IA accounted
for is that low middling in 1885. during
April, commanded from 81 20 SO cents,
while this year it ranged from 10 16 to
1875 But this explanation does not ex-
plain when itcomes to petroleum. which

price In 1887 was 78 cents, as against
